My driveway is now replaced, and looking very good.

The upper part of the two piece concrete driveway was in multiple pieces due to the root penetration under the driveway  There is a big tree nearby. It was over a year ago we finally cut the root which was almost surfaced on the ground between the driveway and the tree, and it seemed to stop any further damage. I couldn't really tell since the damage progress was very slow anyway.

I was actually okay with the upper piece of the driveway in very many pieces even though it didn't look very good.  However, I kept wondering if I really cut the problem root, or maybe there was another root crossing over and kept growing. I then decided to hire someone to replace the whole driveway, mainly to confirm there was no active root still trying to make further penetration.

It was just last Friday I found this concrete company, Allied-One Concrete (http://www.alliedoneconcrete.com/), and they showed up in the same evening.  They gave me a quote and I hired them as they said they could start on Monday. Since it was only the upper piece which was broken, I wanted only that part to be replaced, but I was convinced to replace the whole driveway as some sections of the lower part also seemed to be a bit too high, and the colors wouldn't match.

I was working from home on Monday, and I was able to partly watch their work here and there. I just love watching these things since some of what these professionals do are just amazing. Even though they said it would take 3 days, they actually managed to put concrete on the same day, and pretty much done by the end of the day. They showed up again in the next morning to take out the frames, and clean up the site.

I found the root had indeed been killed, and it might not have cause much further damage, but I am very happy that it's pretty much clean now. And I do love the new look of the driveway even though it's a super simple one.

No cats or raccoons left foot steps on the driveway while the concrete was cured. Maybe I should have left a footstep of my own.
